Jung Kook's Historic Hit Continues To Chart, Years After Its Smashing Debut
Two years after topping the Hot 100, Jung Kook's 'Seven' remains a landmark hit that helped define ... More the global rise of K-pop soloists in the U.S. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 08: Jungkook of BTS performs on NBC's "Today" at Rockefeller Plaza on November 08, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by) Two years ago, one of the biggest stars in the world made a bold move by launching his solo career. In July 2023, Jung Kook stepped out from BTS's shadow and into the global spotlight with a single that made history from the moment it reached the charts. A pair of summers later, and 'Seven' should be remembered as a historic chart-topper – one which represented a turning point in the rise of K-pop musicians in the United States. A Hot 100 No. 1 Right Out of the Gate Jung Kook's solo single 'Seven,' featuring Latto, launched at No. 1 on the Hot 100. As it arrived on the chart dated July 29, the South Korean superstar became only the second K-pop soloist to reach the summit of the busy chart. He did so just months after his BTS bandmate Jimin managed the same showing with 'Like Crazy.' No other solo musician from that part of the world has led the charge since, so Jung Kook and Jimin continue to stand alone in this regard. 'Seven' Ushered in the Golden Era Released on July 14, 2023, 'Seven' introduced Jung Kook's debut solo album Golden to the world. The track's immediate success helped power the full-length to strong first-week numbers and long-lasting popularity. Golden eventually produced several more hit singles, including '3D' with Jack Harlow and 'Standing Next to You,' which both peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100 – but it all began with his pop/hip-hop hybrid cut. A Rare Radio Breakthrough 'Seven' didn't just dominate the charts thanks to sales and streaming activity. The tune also gained traction on pop radio in the U.S., reaching the top 20 on multiple Billboard tallies. For a track by a South Korean soloist, that kind of airplay success is rare, and the popularity of 'Seven' on mainstream American stations helped widen its reach well beyond K-pop's usual audience. It also made the single a longstanding one, instead of a quick smash. A Worldwide Win That Broke Records From the moment it dropped, 'Seven' proved to be a global sensation, as well as an American favorite. The song hit No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. The cut, which long ago disappeared from Billboard's U.S.-based rosters, can still be found regularly on the worldwide tallies to this day. A Defining Anniversary — and a Look Ahead Two years after it reached No. 1 in America, the continued popularity of 'Seven' serves as a reminder of just how massive Jung Kook's solo breakthrough truly was. He only needed a few months to emerge as one of the most successful soloists in that space, and years later, he still holds records that no other K-pop act has approached. Now that all seven BTS members have finished their mandatory military service, the group is getting ready for a new chapter. In fact, the septet scores a new top 10 album on the Billboard 200 this week with a live set, and new music is expected in early 2026.

Spice Girl Melanie C stuns on romantic island getaway with Australian model boyfriend
Spice Girl Melanie C – aka Sporty Spice – looks as fit as ever in these candid new vacation photos. The 90s pop legend, 51, escaped to the island of Mallorca for a romantic getaway with her partner, Australian actor and model Chris Dingwall. Advertisement The loved-up pair each shared a carousel of photos from the vacation on Instagram, with Melanie looking absolutely ripped in a tiny two-piece black bikini – and in another snap, relaxing on a boat while reading a book about the history of ecstasy use in dance music. 4 Spice Girl Melanie C shared photos from her romantic vacation with model Chris Dingwall. @melaniecmusic / Instagram Fans and friends were full of praise for the star in the comments section. 'Seeing Melanie look this healthy and happy melts my heart,' one longtime fan wrote. Advertisement 'Gorgeous to see you so happy and relaxed,' wrote UK broadcaster Kate Thornton. 'You're both so cute together. Love seeing you enjoying moments of love,' another fan gushed. 4 The pop singer captioned her Instagram carousel 'a slice of paradise.' @melaniecmusic / Instagram Dingwall is originally from Sydney but travels the world as a model signed to Ford Models and Chadwick. Advertisement The pair went public at Wimbledon in London last July, days after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the iconic Glastonbury festival. But they had been quietly dating for months before that: Melanie's frequent visits to our shores earlier in 2024, ostensibly for DJing gigs, also doubled as quality time with Dingwall as the pair shared romantic getaways in resorts across Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Whitsundays. 4 The 90s pop icon showed off her toned body in the photos. @melaniecmusic / Instagram Since those early days the pair have become more open about their relationship, with Melanie C even professing her 'love' for Dingwall on social media in January after he wished her a happy 51st birthday. Advertisement Furthering her Aussie connection, Melanie C will soon appear as one of the celeb coaches on the next season of Seven's music contest The Voice alongside Ronan Keating, Richard Marx and Kate Miller-Heidke. She was based in Bondi while she lived here to film the season, and also made a surprise appearance at a Sydney gay club in April, filming scenes for a new music video. 4 The couple first went public in July 2024. @melaniecmusic / Instagram Melanie C is undoubtedly the most private of the five Spice Girls when it comes to her love life, largely keeping her relationships out of the public eye since a string of romances with high-profile musicians. She has a teenage daughter from a longtime relationship with ex-partner Thomas Starr. The pair split in 2012 after a decade together. After that, Melanie dated her manager, Joe Marshall, for seven years before they split in 2022.
